You’ve had all the rest, now make the best. This upgrade takes just a few minutes more: Let the melted butter get all nutty and brown, and then add salt. Boom.
Ingredients
-
1 cup
butter
-
1 tsp
vanilla
-
½ tsp
salt
-
2-250g bags
miniature
marshmallows
-
10 cups
puffed rice cereal
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-in. pan with parchment, leaving overhang on 2 sides.
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high. Stir as butter foams up, then becomes nutty brown, 5 to 6 min.
- Reduce heat to low, then quickly add vanilla, salt and marshmallows, stirring until completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in cereal until well-coated.
- Press into prepared pan and let cool at least 1 hour. Cut into squares.
Tips
This recipe is easily halved. Press into an 8-in. pan or stick with a 9×13-in. pan for thinner squares.
Use wet hands or a wet spatula to press mixture into pan to prevent sticking. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to evenly press the squares.
